After my breast cancer diagnosis 22+ years ago, I quickly learned what mattered to me prior in life was no longer important. And, what was not important took the front seat in being important. Let me give you an example. People rarely spell my name the way I do. Instead of Laurie, I get Lori,... Continue Reading →
I follow @MichaelChatman on Twitter because he is the sort of positive I want in my life from people that make a difference. From following others, I learn to improve myself, to become a better person. I admire their ideas, their passion for the greater good, and their passion for spreading the word for what...
